All models
MacBook Pro (Unibody)The pro line adopts unibody machining and dual switchable GPUs for battery-vs-power balance.
MacBook Pro with Retina DisplayRetina comes to the Mac.
MacBook Pro (Touch Bar, 2016)A divisive redesign: a slim, all-USB-C body with a touch-strip "Touch Bar" replacing the function keys and the unloved butterfly keyboard.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)Apple’s mea culpa: the troublesome butterfly keyboard was replaced with a proper scissor "Magic Keyboard," the screen grew to 16", and a beefier cooling system tamed the i9.
MacBook Pro 13" (M1)Essentially the Air’s M1 with active cooling, so it could hold peak speed for longer renders.
MacBook Pro 14" (M1 Pro/Max)Apple listened: the Touch Bar gone, MagSafe, HDMI and an SD slot back, and a spectacular mini-LED XDR display.
MacBook Pro 16" (M1 Pro/Max)The big Pro with M1 Max could chew through 8K video on battery, all day.
MacBook Pro (M3, 2023)The M3 generation added hardware ray tracing, a darker new Space Black colour, and even brighter screens.
MacBook Pro (M4, 2024)The M4 Pro/Max laptops pushed bandwidth and brightness further, added Thunderbolt 5, bumped the base to 16 GB for Apple Intelligence, and offered a nano-texture screen.
MacBook Pro (M5)The M5 MacBook Pro keeps Apple’s pro notebook formula focused on sustained Apple Silicon performance, XDR displays and ports creative users still need.Browse by year
